Abstract
THE authors of this book say, “We have attempted on the basis of our personal experience in post-graduate and undergraduate teaching to provide a text-book which will be of service to those students of medicine and biology who wish to make a serious study of bacteriology, and its application to the problems of infection and resistance”. This very desirable end has led them, we think wisely, to divide the book into two volumes, so as to treat in the first place the biological aspects of bacteria, and after that has been dealt with to pass to the subject of infection and the application of bacteriology to medicine and hygiene.
